(Verse 1)
(G) I remember all them (D)summers
(Am) Playing 'til my (G/B)fingers (C)bled
(G) You'd sing the songs and I'd sing (D)with ya
(Am) We'd get drunk and (G/B)go to bed (C)
(G) Looking back at all them (D)memories
(Am) Lord, I hate to sleep alone (C)
(G) But if you ever get the (D)notion
(Am) That you need me, (G/B)let me (C)know
(Chorus)
'Cause it's (G)just two hours to get there, babe
(D)I can make it back about an hour or so
(Am)Hold you close against my (G/B)skin
I (C)need a little warmth on a night so cold
(G)Singing songs you used to sing
The (D)one about the lady in the long, black veil
(Am)Should've seen the warnings (G/B)signs
(C)But I loved to hear you wail
(G)High and lonesomе, hard and strong
(D)Even if it was a little out of tune
(Am)Hottеr than socks on a Jersey (G/B)Giant
(C)Lord, I thought you hung the moon
(Solo)

(Verse 2)
(G) I remember all them (D)winters
(Am) Drinking Woodford (G/B)’til we (C)drowned
(G) We'd get wind about a (D)party
(Am) Bundle up and (G/B)go to (C)town
(G) Never worry about the (D)police
(Am) Never worried (G/B)much at all (C)
(G) I miss those nights of reckless (D)glory
(Am) And I'd come back if (G/B)you’d just (C)call
(Chorus)
'Cause it's (G)just two hours to get there, babe
(D)I can make it back about an hour or so
(Am)Hold you close against my (G/B)skin

(Bridge)
(Am) I left town when (G/B)we were (C)over
(Am) 'Cause it didn't (G/B)feel the (C)same
(Am) Every backroad (G/B)had a (C)memory
(Am) And every memory held your (D)name - - -
